Venous thromboembolism is a possible fatal complication after pelvic surgery. There is a lack of trials assessing the effect of prophylactic measures in urology. The aim of the study was to evaluate the practice of thrombosis prophylaxis in a Central European country. A questionnaire of performed radical prostatectomies, way of thrombosis prophylaxis and number of experienced thrombotic events was posted to all departments of urology in Hungary. With a response rate of 59%, 506 radical prostatectomies were reported. Low molecular weight heparin was administered by 100% of the departments. Graduated support stockings were applied by 37% of the patients. Early mobilization was the most common form of mechanic prophylaxis (57%). Thrombotic events were experienced in 1.4%, 0.2% were fatal. The thrombosis prophylaxis of patients undergoing radical prostatectomy is not unified. Due to the potential mortality of thrombotic complications it should be evaluated and prophylaxis should be recommended in urological guidelines.
Összefoglaló. Bevezetés: A hímtag körméretének növelése érdekében, az annak bőre alá bejuttatott zsírnemű anyag szklerotizáló lipogranulomát okoz. Hazánkban a szklerotizáló lipogranuloma okozta hímvessző-deformitások kezelésének legelterjedtebb módszere a két ülésben végzett bőrpótlás. Ennek ellenére a magyar nyelvű szakirodalomban kevés adat áll rendelkezésre a kétüléses műtét eredményességéről és várható szövődményeiről. Célkitűzés: Tanulmányunkban a szklerotizáló lipogranuloma okozta deformitások miatti – két ülésben végzett – hímvesszőbőr-helyreállítással szerzett tapasztalatainkról, a műtét után kialakuló szövődményekről számolunk be retrospektív adatgyűjtés alapján. Módszer: 2008. március 1. és 2020. március 1. között a Debreceni Egyetem Urológiai Klinikáján 17 betegen végeztünk kétüléses hímvesszőbőr-helyreállító műtétet. A szklerotizáló lipogranuloma által érintett bőrt teljes mértékben eltávolítottuk, majd a lecsupaszított hímtagot a herezacskó elülső felszínén kialakított subcutan csatornába helyeztük. A második ülés során a herezacskó bőre alá ültetett hímvesszőt felszabadítottuk. Eredmények: A Clavien–Dindo-beosztás szerint az első ülés után három, a második ülés után egy I. gradusú szövődmény alakult ki; II–V. gradusú szövődményt nem figyeltünk meg. Azon 9 beteg közül, akik mindkét ülésen átestek, 7 beteg elégedett volt a beavatkozás eredményével, 2 beteg korrekciós műtéten esett át fél és 9 évvel a második ülés után. A 8 beteg közül, akik csak ez első ülést vállalták, egy korrekciós műtét történt 4 hónappal a műtét után. Következtetés: A hímvessző szklerotizáló lipogranulomája esetén az érintett bőrterület kimetszése után hímvesszőbőr-helyreállítás szükséges. A herezacskó-bőrlebeny alkalmazásának előnye, hogy a herezacskó színe és elaszticitása a hímvesszőbőréhez hasonló, a tapintás- és erogén érzet megmarad. A kétüléses hímvesszőbőr-helyreállítás kevés szövődménnyel, plasztikai sebészeti jártasság nélkül elvégezhető. Orv Hetil. 2021; 162(35): 1413–1417. Summary. Introduction: Subcutaneous injection of liquid fatty materials to enhance penile girth induce sclerosing lipogranuloma of the penis. In spite of its well known severe consequences there has been a persistent use of this practice in non-medical circumstances. Objective: The aim of this paper is to present our observations with staged penile skin reconstruction for sclerosing lipogranuloma and to evaluate postoperative complications in a retrospective manner. Method: Between 2008 and 2020, 17 patients underwent surgery to treat sclerosing lipogranuloma of the penis by staged penile skin reconstruction at our department. Complete exscision of the involved tissue was performed, then the denuded penile shaft was inserted into a subcutaneous channel on the anterior side of the scrotum during the first stage. The second stage of reconstruction consisted of releasing the penile shaft from the scrotum. The second stage was performed merely on 9 in 17 patients. Results: According to the Clavien–Dindo classification system, 3 grade I and 1 grade I complications occurred in the postoperative period after the first and second stage, respectively. Grade II–V complications were not observed. 7 of 9 patients who underwent both stages were satisfied with the final result, 2 patients had minor correction surgery 6 months and 9 years following the second stage. 1 of 8 patients who underwent only the first stage had minor correction surgery 4 months following the operation. Conclusion: In case of sclerosing lipogranuloma of the penis, excision of the affected tissue and reconstruction of the penile skin are indicated. Advantages of using scrotal skin flaps are that colour and elasticity of the scrotal skin are similar to penile skin, erogenous sensation of the scrotal flap remains intact. Applying staged penile skin reconstruction with scrotal skin flap has the advantage of few postoperative complications and it is easy to perform. Orv Hetil. 2021; 162(35): 1413–1417.
Air guns are known as low-velocity arms and are considered harmless. However, injuries from air weapons can be serious and even fatal, particularly in children. We present a potentially life-threatening penetrating retroperitoneal injury of a 3-year-old boy caused by an air gun, and the successful removal of the bullet via a laparoscopic approach. The patient was brought to our center with a penetrating air gunshot wound on his right side in the waist area. He was accidentally shot by his brother at their home. The patient’s clinical condition was stable. Computed tomography scan showed the bullet in the retroperitoneum near the inferior vena cava. A three-port laparoscopic transperitoneal approach was performed. The bullet was found just 0.5 cm caudal to the right renal hilum and 0.5 cm near the inferior vena cava; it was then removed. Operation time was 42 min and the postoperative course was uneventful. Thanks to improvements in laparoscopic surgical techniques, laparoscopy has become a feasible and effective treatment modality even for the removal of foreign bodies in children.
PurposeWe introduce a new modified penile skin reconstruction technique to treat paraffin-induced sclerosing lipogranuloma of the penis. Materials and MethodsFrom 2017 to 2020, 49 patients underwent the procedure. Complete removal of the lipogranuloma-involved penile skin was performed. A subcutaneous tunnel was then created between a horizontal scrotal incision and a proximal penile circumferential incision. The denuded penis was pulled through the tunnel, and a subcoronal and longitudinal dorsal penile suture line was made. An inverted V-shaped incision was made on the scrotum on the ventral side of the penis, followed by longitudinal closure. Outcomes and complications of the procedure were retrospectively studied. The long-term effect of surgery on sexual function and overall satisfaction was measured using a patient-reported questionnaire, which was completed by 30 patients. ResultsThe overall complication rate was 26.5%. Clavien-Dindo grade 1, 2, 3a, 3b, 4, and 5 complications occurred in the postoperative period 5, 0, 8, 1, 0, and 0 times, respectively, in 13 patients. Surgery was successful in 27 (90%) patients, according to the patient-reported questionnaire. Erectile dysfunction, pain/tension during erection, premature ejaculation, and penile lymphoedema were observed in 2, 3, 1, and 1 patients, respectively. All patients reported sexual intercourse ability. ConclusionsThe type of penile skin reconstruction after the removal of sclerosing lipogranuloma of the penis is controversial. The reconstruction technique presented herein is an effective singlestage treatment option with a high success rate in patients with sclerosing lipogranuloma of the penis with intact scrotal skin.
A szerzők két vesetuberculosis esetét ismertetik, amelyekben a tényleges diagnózis késett az aspecifikus vagy más betegséget utánzó tünetek miatt. Az első beteget bal oldali derékfájdalom és láz miatt vizsgálták. Komputertomográfia bal oldali zsugorvesét; retrográd pielográfia kaliberingadozó uretert, a vesében margarétajelet igazolt. A vizelettenyésztés Mycobacterium tuberculosist mutatott ki. Az antituberculoticus kezelés indítása után két hónappal a vesét eltávolították. A második beteget antibiotikum-kezelésre nem múló láz miatt vizsgálták. Az ultrahangvizsgálaton bal oldali pyelectasia, pyelonkő és perirenalis abscessus ábrázolódott. A vesét deviálták, a tályogot pungálták és drenálták. A kiürülő gennyből Proteus morganii tenyészett ki. Antibiotikum hatására láza és panaszai megszűntek. Két hónappal később perzisztáló pyelonephritis miatt a dupla J-katétert kicserélték. Egy héttel később intravénás antibiotikum-kezelésre sem szűnő láz miatt végzett komputertomográfia a bal vese tályogos átalakulását mutatta ki, ezért nephrectomiát végeztek. A szövettani vizsgálat igazolta a vesetuberculosist. A két eset kapcsán a szerzők összefoglalják a vesetuberculosis diagnosztikáját és terápiáját. Orv. Hetil., 2016, 157(9), 350-356. Kulcsszavak: tuberculosis, urogenitalis tuberculosis, vesetuberculosis, nephrectomia The Great Imitator Case reportAuthors present two patients suffering from renal tuberculosis, which caused differential diagnostic problems. The first patient was examined because of fever and left flank pain. Computed tomography revealed renal shrinkage on the left side. Retrograde pyelography demonstrated ureteric stricture and dilated calices. Urine culture showed Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Two months after initiation of the antituberculotic therapy nephrectomy was performed. The second patient was referred to the department because of fever after unsuccessful antibiotic treatment. Ultrasound examination showed a staghorn stone, dilated renal pelvis and perirenal abscess on the left side. Double J catheter insertion and percutaneous puncture of the abscess were performed. Culture of the pus aspirated proved Proteus morganii. Fever and complaints of the patient relieved after antibiotic treatment. Two months later double J catheter was changed because of persistent pyelonephritis. One week later the patient returned to the hospital with fever, which could not be reduced with intravenous antibiotics. Computed tomography showed purulent fluid in the left kidney, and nephrectomy was performed. Histology revealed renal tuberculosis. The authors summarize the diagnosis and treatment of renal tuberculosis on the basis of these two cases.
